Description

The flash of blue that never goes unnoticed.

The Blue Jay is loud, bold, and brilliant. Its plumage shifts from bright blue to inky black, and its crest tells you everything about its mood—perky when excited, flat when calm. Blue Jays are known for their intelligence, tight family bonds, and sometimes cheeky behaviour. They mimic hawks to scare off competition and can even sound like machines.

This silhouette captures the Blue Jay mid-perch, crest up, calling out across your garden. It’s a piece that adds colour, character, and a sense of wildness to any space.

How to install your Blue Jay

  1. Find a perch – posts, trees, or rails all work well.
  2. Hold at a downward tilt – angle it like a bird watching the ground.
  3. Place the stake – thickest part against the surface.
  4. Hammer carefully – tap until secure and stable.
  5. Check the view – make sure it stands proudly and catches the light.

Top Tip: Place your Blue Jay near a birdbath or feeder to create a lively hub of bird activity.

Why is the crest important?
The crest signals mood—up for excitement or aggression, down for calm.

Can Blue Jays mimic sounds?
Yes. They’re expert mimics, copying hawks, cats, and even man-made noises.

How long does it last outside?
Corten steel is made for outdoor life and develops a natural patina that protects it.

Is this a good Canadian gift?
Definitely. The Blue Jay is a true Canadian favourite and makes a meaningful gift.

Each Metalbird is crafted from Corten® Steel, a premium, weathering steel made to last.

When it meets the elements, it doesn’t rust like your old BBQ. It transforms.

That change you’re seeing? That’s patina. A tough, protective outer layer that seals the steel, adds character, and preserves your bird for decades.

This isn’t paint. It’s nature’s way of ageing gracefully.

The Patina Process:

At first, you’ll notice bright orange spots (we call this the teenage phase). Soon enough, the whole bird will turn a bold orange, slowly shifting into deep burnt umber. Eventually, it settles into a moody charcoal that feels like it’s always belonged.

The Result? A piece of industrial art with a heartbeat. No peeling, no fading, just a bird that gets better with age.
